Holiday pumpkins


I think one of my favorite things about fall is the visit to the pumpkin patch.  I love to see all of the different varieties that have become so popular over the last few years.  I especially like the way we have progressed into the adult version of pumpkin carving and display.  These pieces from Martha Stewart are so fun, they make me wish I had some real carving skills. 
 This year we are keeping with our tradition of having a little carving party for the kids and their friends at the house.  I am so excited and hoping to get it all together including the other fun games like bobbing for apples, and relay races!
 Do you have any traditions that you have started for Halloween?  Are you a pro at carving or decorating pumpkins?

This is the first year I have seen the really large white and pink pumpkins at the patch- loved them!

What a wonderful holiday retreat!  Simple and clean with a great mix of vintage in each space.  I love the natural state of the walls and the vintage textiles.  I hope you are getting ready to enjoy the long weekend with some fun activities!  We have a few parties to attend so it should be a great mix of just hanging out and visiting with friends and family.

Happy Easter!




Easter is one of my favorite holidays.. the memories alone make me smile, egg hunts, flowers, dressing up, See's Candies, seeing all of my family and Spring time in California.  

Wishing you a wonderful day filled with special memories!

a little time outside..




I hope you have been enjoying the holidays and a little time to relax after everything!  We are having the most beautiful weather here so I have been trying to spend time outside in the sunshine doing a little reading and relaxing.  
I guess I need to stop all of that and get back to work... 

but for now it is books and plans for the new year!

greige in Mexico







I am completely loving the soft light and the colors in these pictures.  How beautiful- so much texture it is amazing!  Maybe it can take us to a simpler time and place away from all of the rush of the holidays...
This week should be fun as I try to relax a little and gear up for the days with family and friends to come.
